Marketo vs SAP Marketing Cloud comparison

"I like that Marketo is user-friendly and has an easy view. It's like a one-stop solution for everyone. It is very good, and you can categorize leads in different ways. You can also create your custom objects and enjoy good connectivity."

"It's pretty good at handling customization and templates. We can put in different variables, so even someone without coding knowledge can create and develop emails that look good on different browsers."

"I have a good special setup and a huge NetFlow to the sales channel."

"The main highlights of Marketo are its support structure, the documentation available, and the features mainly related to forms, landing pages, and leads. Although other platforms like Oracle Eloqua have similar features, Marketo's support structure, lead generation, and segmentation features are easier than those of different platforms."

"The most valuable features are the Marketo emails, both sending and tracking."

"The most valuable features of Marketo are its ease of use and flexibility."

"One of the most important things about Marketo is its focus on GDPR compliance. It helps you follow GDPR and CAN-SPAM rules. For example, with Marketo, I won't accidentally target audiences without their consent. Firstly, the Marketo Insights system will highlight new customer segments that I should engage with."

"Marketo is excellent in terms of hands-on usability and lead database management."

"Segmentation and campaigning are very important features."

"Revenue management, attribution, and ABM can all be improved."

"Adobe, the parent company, needs to improve on getting more information published to allow users to educate themselves on how to use the solution."

"There is a bit of room for improvement in the level-one support team. It relies too much on documentation."

"Its APIs need to be more flexible because there are some things that are not available in the API."

"It could be more scalable."

"The user interface could be improved."

"I had an issue while integrating JavaScript with forms. When you embed JavaScript, you can either embed it in a landing page or some other self-contained management system like WordPress. Currently, it provides you access to CSS, where you can customize your form design, but there is no option for JavaScript modification for a particular form. This area needs to be improved where you can integrate JavaScript, and it has the JavaScript functions for that particular form. There are a lot of other areas of improvement. In the design area, they can give us more testing options instead of relying on email testing alone. It would be great if they can provide responsive testing where email clients can be tested within Marketo. It would be also helpful if they can implement some in-built options for users or forms for blocking a generic email ID such as Yahoo or Gmail. Similarly, it would be helpful to have JavaScript features and forms as well as the option to add Google analytics and a header and footer for the landing pages."

"One limitation is the user limit. For bigger organizations with large audience sizes exceeding, let's say, 500k, the solution may not be as efficient as larger enterprise platforms like Salesforce or Oracle Eloqua. However, Marketo is one of the best platforms for mid-scale and small-scale organisations."

"Email response could be improved."

"The fee for Marketo includes the number of users and the database size. If we ask for a unique feature, it will cost extra."

"The solution is expensive compared to others."

"The pricing is not cheap, but it's not that expensive either."

"Marketo's pricing depends on the number of contacts and the level of features you need. Compared to other platforms like Oracle Eloqua and Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Marketo is generally more affordable. Like other platforms, it offers different packages based on your needs."

"The initial pricing was excellent, but the pricing for renewals is not as good."

"Marketo is too expensive for a small-sized company but more affordable for a larger-sized company."

"The licensing cost usually depends on the users."

"Marketo is used a lot because it's cheaper and preferred by many firms."
